fair enough this is from ebay. but there located in sydney.

i got my wheels from there and they cost my $560 without tyres but the guys was will to add tyres to the deal for $90 a tyre 205/40/r17.

anyway maybe just contact them and find out where they are in sydney and go check out what they have.

you wont be dissapointed with there pricing.(i wasnt)

and they crap all over the RJR wheels i first had.

the shadow chrome is what i got from st-tyres for $560 the set

and the bronze is RJR from bob jane they were $142 per wheel

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but i ddint exactly wanna start a new thread to ask such a simple question.

anyway, im finishing uni now so im going to tackle my mod list real soon.

the first on the agenda is new rims. im a noob with everything and ive been warned that i could get screwed over. i want 19s on my 07 camry altise and i was wondering what tips you guys could give me whilst purchasing them? eg what typa of wheels are best, what questions should i ask and the answers im looking for, what type of tire should i get (daily driver plus they have to withstand the weight of my car as i heard sometiems they screw you over that way) and maybe suspension and shocks advise (though i know its really up to me)

thanks in advance

I'm noob but I'll give u my opinion..

Wheels is a matter of taste. If u'r lookin for d best in terms of light-weight, go Japan's. They are mostly lightweight.

Then u should bargain till ur satisfied with the price. Of course u should ask the pcd and off-set to suit ur car.

With different car, there's a standard load-rating u have to fulfill through the tyres. Another problem if u go 19s, there's a possibility of scrubbin in ur car If u change ur springs and stuff. If u wanna change spring and lower them, choose a hard spring, not a soft one. It'll end up like mine.. <_< Unless u leave it stock, it's pretty much okay I reckon. But meh, 19s not lowered. Definitely wouldn't recommend... :lol:

thanks for your reply VF-X. i know that rims is a matter of taste, i already got a sorta style that im on the prowl for. and dont worry, once i get 19's im going to lower it within a week i get my 19's. what kind of set up do you have on your ride VF-X if you dont mind me asking? i want to try minimise rubbing as much as possible, any suggestions?

how important is PCD ? does it have to be exact?

PCD or Pitch Circle Diameter is REALLY important as it's in basic determines the spacing between the studs... Also number of stud is important when it comes to selection of rims. How much budget do you have? Are you after only style? Are you going to track your car? Cheap rims tend to be weaker "cast" type construct while generally the more expensive rims are 1 or 2 or 3 piece forged :)

Thanks for your reply DA,

i got a budget of 3k, but that includes tyres aswell. reasonable? and im planning to the baby lowered but somehow try to maintain stock comfort (or better. any suggestions?) so plus another 500-1k ontop of that. been saving for a while. but no im not planning to track my car at all. im all about looks at the moment (not practical for me to get a very powerful car just yet)

as for the style i want, its something along the lines of this;

Mandrus_Millenium_Black.jpg

those exact ones have a stud pattern of 5x112, so as far as i know it wont fit on my camry.

thanks for your reply fellas, appreciate it a lot.

cheers, prv8no

my memory is bad so im not to sure if the camry is a 5x114.3..

But if u want a similar style to that then try PDW C-16..

I kinda fancy those rims as well.. But need to save if ima get it..

Theres a place in Fairfield east called Tyre for less that would sell it for roughly $1800 with good tyres..

EDIT: Updated with photos

Thats alright man :)

You might want to consider looking around cause I know off my head there are a few guys that are selling 17" 2nd Hand rims from makers such as Rays, Enkei, 5Zigen, etc with tires for <3K if you like that type of thing, only issue is then I have no idea the PCD or optimal offset for the Camry =|

Personally I'd rather 2nd hand big name brands (good condition of course) over any copied rims simply because I know it won't buckle overtime due to crappy Australian roads. Generally they're lighter too so faster acceleration, less weight and better economy ;) Win Win Win...

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
